I was referred to Ava Touloupakis, in July of 2019, after finding out that the neglect, and emotional and financial abuse, from my then husband, was finally affecting my children. I had believed it wasn't possible but then I found out things like he was hiding money that he made so as not to have to pay bills. He was also leaving the children alone in the house, at the ages of 3 and 5 for a minimum of an hour, possibly more, among many other problems that we had, I couldn't allow this to go further so I asked him to leave and sought help. From the beginning, Ava was an empathetic listener. She is honest in what she believes she can do and won't do anything without approval. She is responsive, straight to the point, answers questions and is open to hear one's concerns and offer suggestions. This also shows in her work with the court. She is a very knowledgeable and efficient lawyer, who doesn't want to waste time unnecessarily, but will do what she has to do to get the desired end result. When working with her, I felt we were on the same team and to me that was important. From a legal standpoint, I felt Ava was truly a confidant and I was able to trust her. In my case (which was difficult because of a lack of participation in the beginning from the other side and then the shutdown and continued pandemic) we were granted what we asked for. I would recommend her to any one, (actually I already have) as she will fight for you and your needs efficiently and honestly.

Mrs. Touloupakis was highly recommended by a circle of friends who all have had nothing but great things to say about her! She was there for me and my family. I have nothing but respect for Ava and her legal expertise and abilities with every positive outcome she has represented us. Ava has a vast amount of knowledge and knows exactly what course of action to take for my situation. There was no such thing as "legal road-blocks" or "curve balls" because Ava has the solutions. When you have someone as professional, thorough, organized and as well versed as she is and on your side, you know you have the absolute best representation possible. Ava is PROMPT, KIND and UNDERSTANDING each time that we use her for legal services. She takes the time to listen to me, and my family's legal needs. In return, she consistently AND respectfully always advises and/or explains to my family and I what our legal options are and how to proceed moving toward our goal successfully. Then, she takes immediate action to represent our case and expedite it according to the law. Legal situations are frustrating, stressful and difficult to go through but if you have the right representation, your worries and concerns are nonexistent. Ava is very respectful and made me feel comfortable during the entire process. She is trustworthy, fair and cost-conscious. She truly cares about her clients and keeps you aware of every possible outcome. She is experienced, knowledgeable and astute, attentive, just and reassuring. She plans ahead by devising and implementing long range strategy and has contingency plans. She promptly returns calls and emails. Even when I was out of state, she made sure she kept me up to date with the whole process, clear and concise with her words, so there was no confusion on the progress of our case.

I hired her as my attorney about 10 years ago for divorce and custody proceedings. I have continued to hire/consult with her in the last decade whenever I have needed help with support modifications as well as other miscellaneous issues that have come up throughout the years with my ex. She's always been very professional, prompt with responses, and direct which I appreciate. I trust her judgement and her knowledge of family law. I've always felt that the advice given was in the best interest of my kids (priority one) as well as myself. Having someone of her caliber fighting on my side during such difficult times was such a relief. I highly recommend!

My goal from the very beginning was to negotiate a fair settlement agreement with my now ex-wife. Needless to say, agreeing upon what is fair when it comes to divorce is never easy. And yet Ava was instrumental in negotiating a settlement that was genuinely fair. As my advocate throughout the process, Ava, always had my best interests in mind. But more importantly, she helped me better understand fairness in the eyes of the court. She encouraged me to trust in the innate fairness of the law itself. Apart from Ava's ongoing advocacy I would have agreed upon a less than fair settlement, a settlement I would have lived to regret. Thanks to Ava that did not happen. I could not have had a better lawyer advocating on my behalf. If you are looking for an attorney who is fair, honest, and a great communicator of the law you would do well to choose to be represented by Ava!

The length of my court case was long and stressful but Ava Toulopakis provided professionalism, ambition, and comfort during the process. I am exceedingly satisfied with the results of the case. I highly recommend her services!

Ava was extremely helpful during my divorce case which ended up going to trial. After meeting and preparing together I was confident having Ava not only represent me but also question the many witnesses we had. Ava stood by my side and wanted what was best for my daughter and myself. She never wavered from our goal! Ava was able to help me earn sole custody and even received child support from a spouse who rarely worked. I appreciate all that Ava did to make my divorce end the way it did. I would recommend Ava to anyone facing a tough family situation who needs legal help.

My experiences working with Ava started when she efficiently helped me with my divorce. Our divorce was mediated and allowed us to breeze through with a lack of acrimony and the most reasonable bill conceivable. This fine service lead to me recommending two of my friends who each has custody battles involving children. The list of fine attributes includes: A level of sensitivity toward the needs of children that is unparalleled Reasonable Fees, I said it, reasonable Availability The ability to perform professionally in the midst of emotional situations Efficient prompt communications If you use a different attorney for your custody and divorce needs I wish you good luck as that will be what you need the most.
